Agema Miniatures: Warbands Ancient Rules Announcement


Agema Miniatures: We are still deciding on a title for the game so we have currently given it the working title of Warbands. Warbands will cover ancient warfare ranging from the early biblical period through to the late medieval period. The game will be taking a step away from the large battles of history, focusing instead on smaller engagements, ranging in size from a raiding party of a few dozen warriors up to several hundred on either side. This allows us to make the game seem as realistic to ancient warfare as possible (don’t worry, you won’t be getting any blood on your tabletop!) whilst keeping the gameplay fluid, and most importantly, fun.

Something that we really wanted to create was the feeling that engagements are being played out in real time, to make the game more intense and challenging to play. So we have created a turn order system which makes gameplay feel as though everything is happening at the same time. Much more details here and here.
